DDs need some sort of integration in Launchpad
ARB:
ARB has been getting FOSS packages pushed into Debian rather than get them included in Ubuntu and increasing delta.
Working out really well, except for long wait times for getting into Debian.
Lack of DDs in ARB is a concern right now.
Way too many places to put packages
Debian
Ubuntu MOTU
Ubuntu ARB
Solution?
Get more DDs in the ARB?http://people.ubuntuwire.org/~stefanor/debian-ubuntu-developers/ contains a list of devs active on both Debian and Ubuntu.
Increase mentors in the ARB helpers team?
#Ubuntu-motu is a place for mentees to seek help
Packaging guide/sponsorship docs need to be updated to include info about ARB.https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/NewPackages
Upstart might become default in Debian
Upstart has many patches in Ubuntu, which need to be pushed to Debian
slangasek working on needed policy bits
nautilus-dropbox:
Some issues about upstream proposing removal of the Ubuntu package, with the Debian maintainer opposing it.
Launchpad bug: #909488
GTK patches in Ubuntu
Many many patches in Ubuntu's GTK regarding Unity
Mostly regarding Multitouch, and GNOME is doing the same work on their side, just in a different way
Ubuntu uses Open Input Framework, GNOME most likely will not.
Depends on which way upstream GNOME decides to implement multitouch in GTK.
Patches not likely to go away for Quantal.
12.04 shipped with a highly patched cherry-picked GTK 3.4 because changes in upstream 3.4 would've made the LTS stack unstable
Debian bugs with patches need to be added to the RC bugs page (ajmitch has a WI for this).
This should help improve the current backlog of bugs w/patches.http://qa.ubuntuwire.org/ftbfs/ should list Debian RC bugs
Moving stuff from Ubuntu to Debian
Encourage more and more non-DDs to work on this
Don't need to be a DD in order to file removal requests in Debian
Help clean up the cruft.http://patches.ubuntu.com/
Need more mergers to utilize that resource
qa.ubuntuwire.com
Needs more info (which info?)
Find packages that are modified in ubuntu but have no bugs in Debian
